Rishi Kapoor is one of the most active celebrities on Twitter. He tweets his opinion about anything and everything, which more often than not, lands him in trouble. Therefore, his episode on Neha Dhupia‘s podcast, #NoFilterNeha was one of the most awaited ones. His unabashed thoughts are no doubt, quite sought after.
One of the games Neha played during the episode involved giving a subject to Rishi ji, on which he had to talk for about a minute. Not co-incidentally enough, his topic was “Anurag“. We all know the actor’s several issues with Anurag Basu, the director of Ranbir Kapoor‘s Jagga Jasoos.
As you can guess, a minute was not suffice for all that Rishi Kapoor had to say regarding his topic:
Anurag? There is Anurag Kashyap, who made Bombay Velvet, but he made a better film in Gangs Of Wasseypur, I couldn’t understand head or tale of Bombay Velvet. And then there was Basu who made Barfi, an outstanding film. I am so happy he took my son for it. My son got great recognition for the film and then he made this Gajja Jasoos… what Jagga Jasoos whatever… which he made a total mess of. It was as messy as my pronunciation was. He probably got indulged too much. I guess both the Anurags got indulged in their films. You know when they are good enough to work on certain budget, and suddenly they are given huge budgets in hand so bandar ke haath mein khilona nahin aa jaata hai, he goes absolutely berserk. So I think that’s what actually happened with both these guys. They were given budgets they could not handle and I guess it happens. It happens with every director, every actor you can’t have a hundred percent record anyway… so it happens.
Clean & straightforward, as always! Your thoughts?
